Exceptional - What a day! From start to finish it was wonderful. We got picked up by our lovely driver Hassan from our hotel reception. Hassan was so courteous and made sure we stopped for a toilet break and to get a drink. We drove all the way to Luxor where we met our guide Ameen. Ameen was incredible, he explained so much to us, he went above and beyond to make sure we had all the info we needed, nothing was too much for him! I'm so glad we did this tour and would definitely recommend for others to do the same! It's a long day but really worth it. I'm so glad we did the private tour rather than a group tour. It's most definitely worth the money! Thank you Hassan and Ameen for everything, we truly appreciate it!

Better than we could ever imagine!! - Wow! What an amazing trip this was. Another one ticked off our bucket list. We started early in the morning, where we were picked up in a comfortable, air conditioned car. Drinks and pillows were provided and regular stops for bathroom breaks. When we arrived in Luxor, we were greeted by our tour guide Ameen. Never have we experienced such an amazing and knowledge guide. Facts were just rolling off his tongue and he made us feel so welcome and comfortable at all times. He answered everything we asked and offered to take plenty of photos on our phone for us. He was so passionate about his work and it felt like he was just a friend with us, rather than us being told what to do. We loved the fact that he didn’t rush us through the trip and told us to take our time, as it is our trip, so we should enjoy every minute of it. Ameen was the best tour guide we’ve ever had and I would highly recommend him to everyone that wants to tour Luxor. Included in our day trip was Karnak Temple, Valley of the Kings, Hatshepsut’s Temple, Colossi of Memnon and a trip for lunch to a local Egyptian restaurant which is included in the price (you just pay for your drinks, which is reasonable). We were also offered the optional Nile boat trip for an additional fee, which we were interested in, but unfortunately towards the end, we were just too tired from the intense heat. The travelling was made easy by our brilliant driver Yassen. He was very friendly, and made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey. My girlfriend was struggling with the sunlight beaming on her face, so Yassen kindly pulled over and went to the boot of the car, only to pull out a window shield which stopped light getting in and made the rest of the journey so much better for her. All round this is a fantastic trip and worth every penny. Thanks again to all involved, and to the manager Mohammad for organising it for us. 10/10 👍🏼

Great day - A very long, but very enjoyable day. The driver was lovely and our private guide, Mahmoud, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and friendly - he tried to ensure everything went very smoothly from start to finish. He gave us guidance to avoid the many sellers in the bazaars on the way to and from the sites, and also warned us about the 'helpers' who will try and take photos for you and then demand money. Karnak was great - got there early in the mornings and given plenty of info and time to look around. The valley of the kings was really interesting but the tombs themselves were hot and stuffy, besides very steep ramps down into the bottom. After visiting Hatshepsut's temple we had a lovely meal in a restaurant by the Colossi of Memnon. I was very grateful we had Mahmoud and it was all organised for us.

An Exceptional Excursion - The trip was really very well managed. There was good communication throughout from Mohamed, which started before we even left home (England). This was a fantastic experience and the whole excursion was amazing, from the early pick up at our hotel by our drive a Yassen to meeting our fantastic Egyptologist Ameen who was so friendly, approachable and knowledgeable. Ameen was an exceptional guide, extremely knowledgeable not only about the history and archeology of the sites but also freely explaining and giving his views on modern life in Egypt. It made for a really wonderful day. Thanks very much. The experiences were top class and we fully recommend this excursion with an amazing tour company who went above and beyond our expectations.

Amazing Experience - Hagag is a very pleasant person, who is very polite, empathic, funny and know a lot of Egyptian History and his people. He knows basically every one. Besides that, he manages to show his expertise so well, turning our experience unique. I strongly recommend this tour. I would love to repeat this amazing vacation sometime.
